1. Analysis for D1
I believe that overall, I was quite successful when it comes to meeting the brief. In the brief it talked about creating 3 different posters
which share the same theme resembling a Horror poster with also choosing a sub-genre within the Horror genre to make all of the
posters resemble also. I have successfully made 3 different posters that’s colour schemes, effects from Photoshop and camera setting
help them resemble not only Horror posters, but Paranormal Horror posters. For example with my Landscape poster I decided to put
a fuzzy/ghostly effect onto the figure in the main image to show to anyone who views the poster that the figure isn’t normal or at
least not a normal person, which brings in this layer of mystery, tension because the people viewing the poster don’t know and don’t
understand why this effect has been put onto a model who is pretending to be a character of the movie you won’t be able to figure it
out until you watch the movie. This tension and mystery are both huge features of what a Horror movie is supposed to do to you
because it makes you scared but interested to watch the movie that the posters are advertising for. Therefore, putting that theme into
my Landscape poster will show clearly to anyone what the theme is so that they understand whether it is something for them or not.
Which I believe I have done.
Another way that I have done which meets the original brief is have all 3 of the posters have a target audience, which are late
teenagers to early 30s. I believe that I have also achieved this with my Theatrical poster. In my Theatrical poster I show the main
characters in the plot (the group of six friends), this is the only poster where I show the main characters/protagonists. This gives the
people who view my Theatrical poster the chance to interpret each character only from looking at them and to see if they relate to
them in anyway, whether through what the costumes are to how old the characters are. This will attract the target audience (late
teenagers to early 30s) rather than any other age bracket because the audience members that are close to the ages or around the
ages of what the characters look like will relate to them more compared to a bunch or middle-aged people. So therefore, I believe
that I have met the criteria of the original brief.
I also believe that I have met the criteria because each poster shows a different narrative from the plot. For example, my Landscape
poster shows a Ouija Board and the lower body of a figure who is our antagonist. This shows the significance of both of these things
to the plot for example the Ouija Board is the thing the group of six to come into contact with Bill. My Theatrical poster is the only
poster to show the group of six showing their significance because they are our main characters. Finally with my Teaser poster there
are the two shadows which are Ghosts again showing their significance because they are also summoned along with Bill.
